"I had sworn off love and relationships," he said. "I had no desire to be in one whatsoever."

Nash said she pursued him for two months. Then, on Christmas Eve, they talked all night and set up a date.

The sparks flew.

"We went to dinner and a movie, and that's all she wrote," he said.

The two said they have been together every day since.

"I told him it's got to be love, because I'm not sick of you," Nash joked. "I know I've never felt more real than this."

Recently, the two decided to take the next step.

Wiens took Nash to a jewelry store and proposed right there.

"I just started crying. How could I not?" she said. "Just to be so happy."

Now, with so much to plan, they are putting their pasts behind them.

"There's no reason to dwell on the past," he said.

"It's dead and gone," she added. "It burned in the fire."

They said they make the perfect couple and help balance each other.

Her hands, for example, were severely injured in her accident. His are fine.

She can see. He lost his eyesight in the accident.

"It's a story of hope, a story of true survivors," Nash said. "I mean, if we can do it, I guarantee you, anybody out there -- we all have a story. We're all going through something. And I want to give everybody hope."

The couple's big day will be March 30. The wedding will be in the Fort Worth church where Wiens was working when he was injured.
